Hi Maxime,

Thank you for the review.

This is understandable, but even having this API just reviewed by the community will open the path forward for aligning AMD/Xilinx downstream DRM drivers with the upstream kernel.

It's coming from DT "bus-format" property. The idea is that this property will reflect the FPGA design variation synthesized.

It's impractical from the resources utilization point of view to support multiple runtime options for FPGA-based CRTCs output signal format, so the bus-format will be runtime fixed but can vary between differently synthesized instances.

This could be totally valid for different kinds of CRTCs, although for this particular case, the bus-fomat choice is runtime immutable.

Thank you,
